The frail man instinctively took a few steps back, distancing himself from Tan Tai Zhi Lan.

"Fang Congqi, why are you..." Another man started to say but then realized and also stepped back a few paces.

Because he remembered that Fang Congqi and Tan Tai Zhi Lan knew each other before coming here.

Since Fang Congqi was beginning to guard against Tan Tai Zhi Lan, he naturally had to be cautious as well.

Cultivators rarely have staunch friends, mainly because they're afraid of being suddenly betrayed by them.

The relationship between Tan Tai Zhi Lan and Luo Yun, Fang Congqi knew well; the two were practically inseparable.

Now Ding Huan was saying that Luo Yun was ambushed from behind, and the only one who could do so to Luo Yun would be Tan Tai Zhi Lan.

Moreover, Ding Huan's implication also pointed to Tan Tai Zhi Lan as the one who ambushed Luo Yun.

Someone who could ambush their best friend from behind, he naturally wanted to stay far away from.

Ding Huan's Tao Domain suddenly doubled in strength, causing all those confronting him to have a skip of the heart.

Previously, they thought Ding Huan had shown all his strength, but now that his Tao Domain could double, it was clear he hadn't revealed everything he had.

If Ding Huan were a weakling, then killing him would be no big deal.

But Ding Huan was strong, and no one wished to take the risk.

Thinking back to what Ding Huan had said earlier, and Fang Congqi stepping back.

Plus, before that, there were two people controlling the Seven Realms Stone, and they were eight people blocking those two.

What was the result? Now only five of them were left.

Not only were the two unharmed, but they rushed towards the Creation Dao Principle and then vanished from sight.

Ding Huan was also using a Flying Treasure to come over now, and Ding Huan wasn't alone either.

The red-haired fellow who conjured the Red Sun appeared weak on the surface, but who knew if he was truly a weakling or just pretending?

If there were two more heaven-defying people, then perhaps none of the five would be left.

The other two saints standing with Tan Tai Zhi Lan also instinctively backed away a little.

Ding Huan's Tao Domain didn't envelop them, so they easily retreated out of it.

At this moment, only Tan Tai Zhi Lan remained within Ding Huan's Tao Domain.

Tan Tai Zhi Lan also wanted to retreat, but Ding Huan's domain instantly locked her in place, and she couldn't get out.

"Dao Friend, we have no past grievances, what do you mean by this?" Tan Tai Zhi Lan was no longer as gentle as before.

Ding Huan said coldly, "You ambushed and killed my friend Luo Yun, do you think we have no enmity?"

"To impose a crime without evidence! Luo Yun definitely doesn't have a friend like you, besides, I didn't kill Luo Yun."

Tan Tai Zhi Lan was so angry her voice rose an octave, she was sure Ding Huan wasn't a friend of Luo Yun's.

If Luo Yun had such a powerful friend as Ding Huan, she would surely know.

Ding Huan replied indifferently:

"Whether I'm friends with Luo Yun or not is not for you to interfere. Luo Yun's son Luo Ting was disappointing, and I even scolded him. Do you think I'd let you get away with killing Luo Yun?"

The implication was that he could even substitute for Luo Yun and scold Luo Yun's son, indicating an extraordinary relationship.

Ding Huan was really worried about further complications, and he guessed if he were to kill Tan Tai Zhi Lan, someone might step in.

This would be a waste of time and would create more enmity.

Upon hearing Luo Ting's name, Tan Tai Zhi Lan began to doubt her assumptions.

If Ding Huan and Luo Yun weren't friends, then he couldn't possibly know Luo Ting.

Tan Tai Zhi Lan asked again, "If you are friends with Luo Yun, then do you know the Slaughter Dao Sword?"

Ding Huan was taken aback, what did the Slaughter Dao Sword have to do with Luo Yun?

He obtained it from Ji Xinting.

However, Ding Huan quickly figured it out.

Tan Tai Zhi Lan's treasure was a longsword, and up to now, he hadn't seen a longsword treasure stronger than the Slaughter Dao Sword.

Tan Tai Zhi Lan coveted the Slaughter Dao Sword, so after knowing Ji Xinting had it, she wanted to seize it, and her relationship with Luo Yun was unclear...

Ding Huan let out a chuckle, "Ji Xinting, eh, I know him. I heard he dared to make a move against my friend Luo Yun, so I killed him. As for the Slaughter Dao Sword, it's right here."

As he spoke, Ding Huan summoned the Slaughter Dao Sword.

In his mind, he was thinking, if Luo Yun and Tan Tai Zhi Lan had joined forces, Ji Xinting wouldn't have stood a chance...

Was it possible that Tan Tai Zhi Lan was injured at that time?

Once the Post-Chaos Supreme Treasure appeared, combined with Ding Huan's murderous intent, the space instantly grew several degrees colder.

The sense of impending death was stronger, yet Tan Tai Zhi Lan's eyes flashed with fervor.

Ding Huan's guess was indeed correct; when Luo Yun battled Ji Xinting, Tan Tai Zhi Lan couldn't intervene at all.

It could be said that Tan Tai Zhi Lan owed her life to Luo Yun; Luo Yun not only saved Tan Tai Zhi Lan but took her into the Endless Void, ultimately sacrificing his own life for Tan Tai Zhi Lan.

"Your treasure is not a sword, could you sell this sword to me?" Tan Tai Zhi Lan could not restrain her inner desire.

Ding Huan mocked, "The matter of you killing my friend is unresolved, and now you want my Post-Chaos Supreme Treasure. How dare you have such audacity?"

With these words, Ding Huan's Breaking Tribulation Blade once again stirred up countless Sword Lights.

Soon, the endless Sword Lights transformed into a Netherworld River.

This Netherworld River, facing the Creation Dao Principle in the distance, surprisingly exuded a similar majestic aura.

Tan Tai Zhi Lan shivered, finally awakening to the fact that she was still within the opponent's Slaughter Domain.

If no one helps her here, she is definitely no match for Ding Huan on her own.

She has already tested Ding Huan's strength just now.

"How many Dao Veins do you want?"

Tan Tai Zhi Lan spoke directly, understanding that Ding Huan wanted the Dao Veins she possessed.

"Two hundred top-grade Dao Veins, with twenty pairs among them." Ding Huan, having learned his lesson, made an extravagant demand.

Not only Tan Tai Zhi Lan, but even the few people behind her were stunned by Ding Huan's asking price.

Despite the fact that the Netherworld River above her head had not yet descended, Tan Tai Zhi Lan still felt a sense of trepidation.

Suppressing the unease in her heart, she said, "I have at most thirty top-grade Dao Veins, with only three pairs among them."

"Fine, bring them all." Ding Huan didn't even bother to bargain.

He knew well enough that not everyone could be as wealthy as Wen Shiyi.

For Tan Tai Zhi Lan to offer thirty top-grade Dao Veins was considered quite good.

After all, how precious is his time now?

If he could avoid fighting, it was best not to fight.

It was best to immediately go into seclusion to realize the Creation Dao, and then step into the Seventh Step of the Great Dao.

"For you." Tan Tai Zhi Lan didn't hesitate and tossed a ring to Ding Huan, not daring to mention the matter of the Slaughter Dao Sword.

She swore in her heart that she would get the Slaughter Dao Sword sooner or later.

Ding Huan stowed away the ring, and the Netherworld River descended.

With a roar, a massive Sword River was ripped open beside Tan Tai Zhi Lan.

Tan Tai Zhi Lan couldn't help but shudder; even though the Sword River wasn't aimed at her, she felt the presence of death intensely.

Sneering at Tan Tai Zhi Lan, "Scram, if you dare disturb my seclusion again, I will kill you."

Watching Ding Huan and Di He turn around, Tan Tai Zhi Lan took a deep breath. Ignoring the others, she returned to her own place of seclusion.

She vowed not to come out until she stepped into the Eighth Step.

Once she stepped into the Eighth Step, the first person she would kill was Ding Huan, then proceed to obtain the Creation Dao.

The other four allies of Tan Tai Zhi Lan also remained silent, none daring to trouble Ding Huan.

Everyone was focused on how quickly to comprehend the Creation Dao and step into the Eighth Step.

...

"That woman is not a good sort," Di He spat.

Despite saying this, he was a bit worried earlier; after all, if Ding Huan and those five fought, he might only play a supporting role.

At this moment, he also longed to step into the Eighth Step as soon as possible.

Ding Huan quickly completed the barrier setup, initially setting up only a Defense Barrier.

Because of Tan Tai Zhi Lan's precedent, he also set up an Attack Barrier.

If Tan Tai Zhi Lan dared to come again, she would be trapped.

After setting up the barriers, Ding Huan continued with the implantation of Dao Veins.

This time, it wasn't just two Dao Veins but fifty top-grade Dao Veins, with ten pairs of black and white veins among them.

Previously, implanting two was for the others to see, implying he was very poor.

Now, he wanted to construct his own Creation Dao and seize the opportunity to step into the Seventh Step. Without sufficient Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, it was impossible.

After Ding Huan and Di He went into seclusion, the place quieted down.

For Tan Tai Zhi Lan and the five others, this deathly silence was something they were already accustomed to.

In this moment, within Ding Huan's Tao Universe World, the infinite laws driven by the Great Universe Technique Circulation were tangled like a chaotic mess.

Five Elements Law, various attribute laws, Vitality Law, Descent Law, Endless Void Law, Chaos Law, various Divine Skills laws, cause and effect, reincarnation…

Just imagining how many Law Star Rivers existed in Ding Huan's Tao World, one could see how terrifying it was to have all these laws mixed together.

If anyone were to ambush Ding Huan right now, it would be a sure hit.

Because Ding Huan himself was lost in these endless laws, searching for the source, his mind fully immersed.

Although Ding Huan hadn't obtained the Creation Dao, close observation had already given him a vague understanding of his Cosmic Avenue.

In a universe, vitality is not just about living creatures.

Any law, Dao Principle, rule, attribute…

Can be considered a part of life.

To construct the origin of one's own Tao Universe, it is essential to condense one's own Creation Dao.

He felt the Creation Dao and already had the idea of condensing his own Creation Dao.

The first thing Ding Huan thought of was to use the Life Tree's Vitality Law as the first law to build. Not only because the Life Tree contained endless Vitality Law but also because the Life Tree had saved him multiple times.

However, Ding Huan quickly dismissed this idea, choosing instead to start constructing the Creation Dao with the first Chaos Law from his Chaos Law Sea.

Every Chaos Law in his Chaos Law Sea was under his control, evolved by him.

As the first Chaos Law was brought out by Ding Huan through the Great Universe Technique Circulation, followed by the first Vitality Law, the first Origin Law, the first Five Elements Law, the first Luck Law…

The chaotic Great Dao laws in the world gradually condensed, forming the embryonic outline of a brand new Dao Law.

Although not yet formed, the aura of the creation of a Vast Universe had already manifested.
